This is already the 16th procedure in the district court in connection with the conflict of these two gangs, which illustrates the high effort for the judiciary.

In Germany, a worrying increase in youth crime is to be determined. In 2024, according to Statista , around 13,800 cases were registered, which is a high and more than twice as high as in 2016. Years.

experts attribute the increase to various factors, including psychological stress by the Corona measures and risk factors in young people seeking protection.
